King’s Herbs

I suffered a bad break on my ankle 4 years ago and even after extensive physiotherapy never fully recovered. My ankle always felt weak and I would often walk with a Limp. Almost two weeks ago I was at a point that I could hardly walk and a friend pestered and insisted that i go see Dr. Ho.
I saw him for 30 minutes he told me I had 2 twisted tendons and I received a quite painful massage. The pain in the area he massaged was terrible for the next week but then started to subside. Today is the first time in 4 years that I have 100% full mobility and zero pain.
AMAZING

Dr. Ho knows his stuff. Make sure you make an appointment by calling first, or else the wait time can be over 2 – 3 hours and you will have to come back. $ 35 for a half hour massage and he will fix anywhere where you are hurting.
The oils are also very helpful. Leon may be gruff sometimes, but he can be super funny

Nice place! The lady at the register was very helpful. I told her what my problem was and she directed me to some oils that should work. Her tone was very pleasant. I can’t wait to try the oils. I bought white flower strain relief for the pain in my big toe.

I have been going to Dr. Hu for several years when in pain from osteoarthritis in my feet, tendinitis, stiff neck, or even from a cough. He has always helped me.
He is very professional & knowledgeable of Chinese medicine & esp. of acupressure which I always get.
I am so grateful to have found him & I highly King’s Herbs.

I had an appointment to meet with the Iridologist here. I drove over there about 20 – 25 min drive, I arrived on time… and when I told the man that worked there that I was there to see the Iridologist, he shrugged his shoulders and said, «She’s not coming in today, she called out.» To which I responded…“Why didn’t she or anyone else notify the appointments she’d made and instead have me waste my gas and time driving over here?” He looked at another guy standing behind the counter and both looked at me like I had crash landed and asked for kryptonite.
Not very professional at all… and a very strange and random «encounter» altogether.

About half a year ago, Mr. Ho cured my husband’s long time nasal allergy with just one visit. We always go back to replenish supplements to keep the allergy at bay. 3 days ago, I twisted my neck and I immediately went over to King’s herbs. Unfortunately, I didn’t make an appointment and was told I had to wait 3 hours…
I went there again today with an appointment. Told Dr. Ho about where it hurts. He gave me a reflexology massage with herbal hot towel rubbing. It was painful at some point but he fixed my neck within 30 mins. Dr. Ho is so knowledgeable and just about his business. I don’t see why people worry about his attitude when what matters is he could keep you healthy.

No frills, not fancy but for $ 50 you get acupuncture and a reflexology massage from a qualified and knowledgable Chinese doctor. I come here every two weeks and it has kept my throat healthy and my back in good condition.

This is the herbal medicine shop adjacent to the Ranch 99. I came here to restock on traditional chinese medicine that my mom gave me. An older gentleman who helped me find what I was looking for was extremely rude, mocking me in Chinese when he thought I didn’t understand what he was saying. I didn’t say anything back given that I was taught to respect my elders, but I will not be giving this store any future business, and neither should you because who knows what they are saying behind your back. One star for having the traditional medicine I was looking for, no stars for bad mouthing a customer straight to her face.

I been seeing Dr. Ho for 3 years now! back pain as well as foot pain knee pain and high blood pressure he got rid and all that pain and blood pressure is lower. Great guy. not a big talker, but Im not here for that just make me feel better. Love this Guy.

Dr. Ho knows.
That’s it, just trust in the herbs. He’s not a particularly chatty guy, and some people might consider that «rude» but he’s just about his business. He’s not trying to hold your hand and tell stories and that’s ok with me! What’s important is he knows his chinese medicine, can read and diagnose your symptoms, and won’t charge an arm & leg to help you feel better (as western docs do).
I had a terrible flu and a cough that would not go away and the herbs he had me take did much better to help me than the cough syrup I was prescribed.
The «golden» herbal lozenges are a billion times more effective than any ricola or halls.

Warning!!! do not go to this place, aggressive, hostel old employee man, crazy out of his mind, alway rude and discrimanate people very nice to there kind not to other races, he did not want to help me out and because a said he is rude he got verbally abussive ans call me the «F…CK» WORD. I was never so insulted in my life to deal with a maniac like this employee.
I will never go back there or recomend any body else to go there
I do not want my family and friend to go to this place and have to deal with this person.

Came in and reported I had low back, hip issues sore, stiff. Doctor upon arriving never even introduced himself just said your turn…
Requested oil type massage for sore body. Am a jogger and have sore body issues. Didn’t seem to understand Swedish full body massage.
Charged me $ 60.00 for a disappointing massage no real relief.

My mom always comes here for a massage. Everyone here is really nice and knowledgable. There’s a lot of other helpful natural products and THE HERBS! (swoon) except there’s no chairs, so if you bring a friend or family member for a massage make sure to take a walk in the supermarket next door.

The doctor is amazing. My mom twisted her back (somewhere around the waist) and couldn’t even move. The Dr. helped to do half an hour massage and my mom could move immediately next day!

I’ve been wanting to try some eastern medicine for some digestive issues I have. I love the more natural approach, essential oils, herbal products, organics. Western docs want to give you medication to put a bandaide over the issue while making pharmaceutical companies rich, not to mention they receive kick backs from these companies for writing their prescriptions. With all that being said, I have been looking for and trying some alternative, holistic approaches to help me with digestion and absorption of certain foods. I have been reading up on Ayurvedics and how the tongue can tell you just about everything going on in your body. I saw all the great reviews here and went in today. No appt., no wait. A doctor came out asked me my symptoms, took my pulse in both wrists, looked at my tongue and wrote an rx for some herbal tea. The workers started taking herbs from various drawers, all marked in Chinese. It looked like a bunch of dried twigs, barks, mushrooms, weeds etc, it was so interesting to sit and see them put all of this together. Each batch is specially made for your specific needs. They separate them and bag them up in 5 days worth of tea to be made and taken twice a day (they provide you with written instructions). Everyone speaks good enough English for you to understand and communicate. They were very friendly. The exam itself cost $ 15.00, the herbs cost $ 35.00. I’m going to start tomorrow, I will update when I finish. The reason for four stars is the parking. IT SUCKS. They share a lot with 99 Ranch and a Phở restaurant so at certain times parking is non existent.

I used to live in the SF Valley and have been coming to see Dr. Ho since 2002. Moving to the Westside and now OC, I learned there is no other Chinese Doctor/​Acupuncture/​Accupressure doctor who compares.
Trust me, I always try local doctors. I still drive to Van Nuys when in pain and I need a treatment. $ 35 for 30 minutes and you begin to feel your body healing. He helps realign the whole body so the back pains just stop.
I’ve recommended him to several people and they all experience the same results. Trust me! Book an appt! You won’t be disappointed!

Sadly… Went there today and found out the nice lady that works there «Wendy» has passed away, I will miss her humor and good advice.
this is a great store to shop in, Dr. Ho is really wonderful. Highly recommend this store.

Came in for a couple of things and the clerk was really helpful. Prices were great and it has a great mix of herbal, natural and «normal» remedies stocked in and around the shop.
I’ll definitely come back whenever I have other aches and pains.

King’s Herbs is a gem in the valley that I frequent quite often. They have a wide variety of medicinal products and herbs that will combat any illness you may have.
More importantly, you must go there if you’re suffering from any physical pain. Dr. Ho is the resident physician at King’s Herbs and he is able to diagnos, physically treat, and prescribe herbs for you to take home the very same day. I was unable to move my neck for weeks. I went in to see Dr. Ho and within 30 minutes of seeing him, I felt much better. Although my mobility was still limited that day, I was 100% again within 2 days. The man knows what he’s doing and he’s very very affordable ($ 35 I believe).

This place can be found in the 99 Ranch Center and is a retail store.
Normally, when you go to a Traditional Chinese Medicine place, they will have a healer that will check you out, ask you what you want fixed, diagnose you and put together a mix of herbs and roots with instructions on how to prep and use them in order for you to get better.
It’s the same here. But here, you get a lady that knows how to speak English very well. Thank God. The herbs and roots selections might not be as extensive as some places I’ve been in though.
They also have loose leaf tea for sale by the pound. Yes! Coz I’m having a hell of a time finding a cheap tea shop in the valley. I think I might have to keep going to the Bodhi Tree (expensive and far) or the Spice Station (love them but expensive and out of the way too) or Chinatown (mostly traditional teas but have extensive collection and varieties and only slightly out of the way). Sigh…
They have a shelf full of boxed diet tea. (Don’t do it! It hurts!)
They also have a shelf full of boxed regular tea. Eh…
But the lady is nice and they have 4 different jars of jasmine tea. Ok. Great fallback place.
